Monty by Jim Meddick for July 10, 2022

Someone’s going to get conched over the head.

It’s a shell game.

Monty is wise to stay out of it. He would get a shellacking.

Lots of fun until whatever is in the shell takes a peek outside.

There are beaches where shell collecting is forbidden

At first I thought she was holding an orange popsicle.

Now imagine you can hear the ocean.

Monty’s got a ringside seat for wrestling. Shouldn’t they be in a cage? :)

It’s all fun and games until the shive’s come out.

All it takes is for adults getting involved in a kids hobby for it to ruined for everybody.

The Old Folks Competition will be To the Death! Enjoy, Monty and Dehlia!

Almost all intact shells have a critter inside, even the tiniest ones. Hold them underwater for a moment to see if the critter opens the shell and tries to move away.

I see Moondog off to the side, surreptitiously chucking shells near groups like that one for fun.
